Observation details
First observed by Dee Smith. Slim buteo perched on a post above green alfalfa field. Brown/ rusty head and shoulder. Brown back with light spots. Black tail with narrow white stripes. Dark brown streaks on upper breast. We observed this bird concentrating on the ground below its perch, then watched it catch and consume a rodent. After finishing its meal, it flew off and we were able to see pale crescents at the base of the primaries.
